The twin solos in the right side of the photo were made from plastic drain pipes. This industry is a bakery called "Stayle Bread Company". 

I like this theme. Please show something on your layout constructed from material not intended for a model railraod.

The foreground trees were made from goldenrod, not sure if that counts. Also the lichen on the mountains was purchased at Michaels and intended for dried floral arangments. So agin, another stretch.

Show me something you made out of stuff from your local hardware store.

The grain bins at the Farmers Union Elevator were made from recycled tin cans.

 

Lets keep this theme going. Show something on your layout constructed form materials not intended for model railroading.

Sorry, too slow.

Lee, from the photobucket site, I go to the right side of the page where the "SHARE LINKS" are.  I click on the "Direct" box which automatically copies the address to your clipboard.  Go back to your MR post and click the add/insert image button and paste the text into the first box.  Not sure if this is how everyone else does it, but it works for me.

 

I guess continue the "items not intended for model railroading" theme unless Lee has another preference.

Here's the challenger or big boy (I'd have to go upstairs to check).  Apparently the challenger:

Show me some bigger iron (weight, thrust, length, etc) or a really small steamer.

Lee,

I have the same issue with the "Insert" button when I try to make a comment. I've found that refreshing the page before I type anything will bring it back.

If you type any comments before refreshing the page, it will be lost.

Not sure what causes the problem, but it is most likely a glitch with the programming or a compatibility issue with IE.

Lee,

I have the same issue with the "Insert" button when I try to make a comment. I've found that refreshing the page before I type anything will bring it back.

I always have to refresh my post page in order to get the insert image button.  And all my buttons are blank so I have to hover the mouse over them to see what they are.  I know this is due to my quirky computer/security/browser settings.

Used to have issues using IE8, switched back to Firefox. Works far better, just has other  Flash compatibility etc, but fine for MR postings. Not sure if it just browser security settings or the IE itself.

OK, will do.

Eastward C&O K-1 #1137 (2-8-2, Division Point) in charge of morning New River Local coming from Handley, W. VA comes face-to-face with Manifest No. 99 headed by H-8 #1645 (2-6-6-6, Key) just outside Sewell.

Since I love steam, how about a Consolidation?
